Get a different wet suit. Look for one that has a lower neck line. Check out the Pflex made by Orca.

I love my Orca Speedsuit. Never chafed due to the suit.

That is what I have. My buddy gave it to me because it chafed his neck. He replaced it with a Pflex. I have only used the Speedsuit once (racing olympic distance) and it gave me a skabby rash 1.5 inches tall by 4 inches wide. Needless to say, I am going to give the cursed wetsuit to my brother (heh heh) and get a Pflex. Yes, I love everything else about the suit, but can't live with the rash.
btw, I don't think it is the suit that has the problem. I think it is the way I swim or the way the suit fits my body. I would rather buy a suit with a lower neckline than work around it. Besides, the Pflex is sexy!
